And part 2 (the team matches) of the University Taikai!
Both Cambridge Teams got through the pools stages, and Cambridge team A came third! So congratulations to Ciadh Takahashi, Sarah Kaneen, Alex Rutter, Matt Smith, Alex Karbowshi and of course Cosmin Patrascu, who scored the ippon that got us through to the semi-finals.
Once again, a massive thanks to the shimpan and the helpers of the day. And thank you to each team who came and made it such a good event ❤️❤️
